In the Betic-Rif Cordilleras, recent works have evidenced the existence of well-developed Eocene (Ypresian-Bartonian) carbonate platforms rich in Larger Benthic Foraminifera (LBF). Contrarily to other sectors of the western Tethys, like the Pyrenean domain in the North Iberian Margin, where these platforms started in the early Ypresian (Ilerdian), in the Betic-Rif chains, the recorded Eocene […]

The march issue of the Geoscience journas has a cover story dealing with the newly published paper in that issue by Tosquella et al. (2025) of our group. In the Betic-Rif Cordilleras the Eocene platforms started in the Cuisian after a gap including the Ilerdian. An Eocene succession with gravity flows consisting of turbidites and […]

Thirteen Paleocene-Eocene sections have been studied along the Prebetic Domain (South Iberian Margin) in the Alicante, Murcia, Granada, and Jaen Sectors. The sedimentary realms (mostly consisting in 15 shallow marine Lithofacies) and the tectono-sedimentary evolution were characterized. Three informal stratigraphic units were proposed and dated with planktic foraminifera, calcareous nannoplankton, and Larger Benthic Foraminifera (LBF): […]
